. SPECIFICATION forming part lof Letters Patent No. 790,700, dated May 23, 1905.

Application filed February 9, 1905. Serial No. 244,872.

' To all whom t may cowccrn:

'Be it known that I, JACOB EDWARD Mosu- MAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Donaldsonville, in the parish of Ascension and State of Louisiana, have made certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specitication.

My invention belongs in that-general class of bottles which are provided 'with attachments adapted to prevent refilling after discharge of their original contents, and it is more particularly an improvement in that special class of such bottlesin which the attachment comprises a stopper permanently secured in a bottle-neck and 'provided with a passage having a valve that will permit discharge but prevent entrance of liquid.

My invention is embodied in the construction, arrangement, and combination of p arts hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a longitudinal section of a bottle and my improvedl non-refillable attachment therefor. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of a stopper of modified construction.

A stopper a is permanently secured in the mouth of a bottle w, and both are preferably constructed of glass, and they may be fused together or secured by any other suitable means. A tube e is attached to the inner end of the stopper and extends to the bottom of the bottle, it being provided at an adjacent point with inlet-ports e. In this tube works or slides a piston b, having a stem b', that eX- tends through a central passage in the stopper a and is provided exteriorly with a handle b2. It will be noted that the aforesaid inlet-openings e are located a sufiicient distance above the bottom of the tube to permit the piston to pass below them, as indicated by dotted lines, Fig. 1.

The stopper a is provided with a circuitous passage for discharge of the liquid contents of the bottle-that is to say, the passage has a vertical parte entering from the top of the stopper and another vertical part c entering or opening in the bottom of the stopper, the

or on different sides of the stopper, as shown.

The inner ends of the two passages c c', as`

shown in Fig. 1, are connected by a central horizontal passage; but in the modifcatlon shown 1n Fig. 2 the inner ends of ports c c' are connected by a passageg, (see Fig. 2,) which' From the foregoing description it will now be understood that in order to effect the discharge of the contents of the bottle m or any portion thereof the piston is pushed down un- Vtil it passes below the lateral inlets e of the tube e, as shown by dotted lines, Fig. l, whereupon liquid enters the tube above the piston and ills the same to the level of the liquid outside it. Then upon raising the piston the liquid in the tube is forced upward and acts against the valve f and overcoming the tension of the spring Zopens the valve, so that the liquid passes through the circuitous passage in the stopper and discharges therefrom atv the point c2. The piston and tube thus constitute practically a force-pump, by which the liquid is raised and forced out through the stopper past the valve. When the piston is again pushed down, the liquid which fills the tube below it will be forced out through the inlets e into the body of the bottle, and the piston passing suoli inlets as before the discharging operation is repeated.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination, with abottle, of astopper which is permanently secured thereto and provided with a circuitous passage for discharge of liquid, a valve seated in the lower two parts c c being located out of alinement l portion of such passage and provided with a IOO spring which holds it normally seated downward therein, a tube connected with the stopper and extending to the bottom of the bottle and provided at a point adjacent to the latter with lateral inlets, and a piston adapted to slide in said tube and pass below the said inlets, and provided with astem adapted to slide in the stopper, substantially as described.

2. An attachment for non-rellablebottles, comprisinga stopper having a passage for discharge ot' liquid, and a yielding valve seated therein and normally closing the same against escape of liquid a'nd permanently closing the same against entrance of liquid, a tube connected with the stopper and inelosing the entrance to the discharge-passage, and having in its lower portion lateral inlets for'liquid, a piston adapted to slide in the said tube to a point below the inlets, and having a stem eX- tending outward through the stopper, substantially as described.

8.y The combination, with a bottle, of astopper secured thereto, and having a dischargepassage comprising two longitudinal parts which are out of alinement with each other, and a connecting.- passage arranged transversely,.a yielding valve seated in the lower part of such passage and seated downward,

and a force-pump connected with the stopper and serving to expel liquid from the bottom by forcing it upward against the valve and past the same, substantially as described.

4. The combination, with a bottle, and a stoppersecured in the mouth thereof and having a valved discharge-passage, of a forcepump comprising atube which is secured between the stopper and the bottom of the bottle and provided with a lateral inlet and having a slidable piston working in such tube and adapted to pass below the inlet and having a stem sliding liquid-tight in the stopper, as shown and described.

5. The improved attachment for non-relillable bottles, comprising a stopper having a circuitous passage provided with a lyielding' valve seated downward in the lower portion of the passage, and a force-pump attachment comprising a tubular extension having an opening for inlet of liquid and a piston adapted to slide therein and provided with a stem passing through and slidable in the stopper, substantially as described.
